Staphylococcus aureus is a rare cause of postinfectious glomerulonephritis, and Staphylococcus-related glomerulonephritis primarily occurs in middle-aged or elderly patients. Patients with Staphylococcus-related glomerulonephritis also present with hematuria, proteinuria of varying degrees, rising serum creatinine levels, and/or edema. The severity of renal insufficiency is proportional to the degree of proliferation and crescent formation. Here, we present a diabetic patient admitted with a history of 1 week of left elbow pain. Laboratory results revealed that erythrocyte sedimentation rate was 110 mm/hour, serum creatinine level was 1 mg/dL, C-reactive protein level was 150 mg/L, and magnetic resonance imaging showed signal changes in favor of osteomyelitis at the olecranon level, with diffuse edematous appearance in the elbow skin tissue and increased intra-articular effusion. After diagnosis of osteomyelitis, ampicillin/sulbactam and teicoplanin were administered. After day 7 of admission, the patient developed acute kidney injury requiring hemodialysis under antibiotic treatment. Kidney biopsy was performed to determine the underlying cause, which showed Staphylococcus-related glomerulonephritis. Recovery of renal functions was observed after antibiotic and supportive treatment.
